Then take your petulant ass down the road. The **** are you trying to prove here?

Not sure why you’re so bent out of shape. You’responded to me; you should just ignore everyone who doesn’t have a stupid way of thinking like you. There are just as many people tired of Cronin as there are who are happy with him.

Translation: "Not sure why you're objecting to me wishing the program back into the gutter, just so I can gain satisfaction by getting rid of the coach I dont like".

Yea, who on earth would dare challenge that mindset...

But you refuse to acknowledge that Im not wishing the program into the gutter, those are your words. I just think he will fail wherever he goes and don’t think we would be in an awful spot. He won’t be able to fall back on his go to excuses of total rebuild, or lack of facilities, or other b.s he used to justify his mediocrity. A change could be good.

You dont think we'll be in an awful spot?? Likely scenario is our best player and best prospect leave...that's an awful spot dude.

I doubt Cumberland leaves, but how sad is it that he will be a senior and we don’t have anyone else even close to fill that void. And Curtis is our ONLY prospect... don’t you consider those problems? Who is responsible for that being a problem?
 
It's really interesting getting on Va Tech and UCLA message boards. The overwhlemning consensus from unbiased fans of these programs is pretty telling in regards to what the perception of Cronin is..."Bad hire" "Always unimpressed by his teams" "boring style" "least favorite candidate" "horrible personality" "a-hole" "difficult person" "poor recruiter". This isn't me or anyone other Bearcat fans saying this stuff. Perception is everything. The main theme with a lot of Hokies fans is they think Cronin is a jerk to put it mildy. Pretty darn interesting. And I'm not talking one or two people saying it but a whole host of people. Wonder how they formulated their opinion?

Didn't say ONLY prospect. I said "best".
 
I said only. Who else is coming in?

They only have one more scholarship to use this offseason. So of course Curtis is the only guy coming in right now. They don’t need to use that last scholarship and carry it to next season. UC can also get a late commitment like Prince Gilliam from last season.

It's not all negative.
Seton Hall has been implicated under FBI stuff so Willard does not excite me at all... Cronin would be much better than him. Cronin has had way more success too. 9 straight tournaments.
First of all, if he can just regularly make the tournament that would be success at VT.
Second of all, almost all of the alternatives have done worse in March. Willard is 1-4 in the tournament and Wojo is 0-2. Gregg Marshall is pretty much the only candidate who has actually done better in the tournament than Mick.
For me, Cronin is way higher than anyone besides Marshall on my list. I think he could do well here
There's a lot of hate for Mick, but I think he'd be a good hire.

And then there's this gem:
I would like to throw Tubby Smith's name in the ring

Being unbiased doesn't necessarily make them smart.
 
UCLA favors two candidates to fill their head coaching position: TCU's Jamie Dixon and Cincinnati's Mick Cronin.

Have to think if he gets offered the UCLA job, he is gone.

Absolutely, and all this complaining about him as a coach. But one of the most storied programs in the NCAA is after him. Hmm.. kind sounds like he’s a pretty damn good coach.
 
Chris Beard > mick Cronin


chris beard > all but a handful of maybe 5 guys. to think the guy wasn't even coaching div 1 4 years ago is nothing short of amazing.



but it also makes me think potentially great coaches are out there, its a matter of finding them and getting them into a good situation. much easier said than done of course.
 
Per Sportingnews:

"UCLA will consider St. Mary’s Randy Bennett, Texas’ Shaka Smart and former Suns coach Earl Watson if Dixon and Cronin turn down the job, according to the report."
 
I don't think Mick is going anywhere. He showed interest in the UCLA job as leverage to get this contract extension much like he did with UNLV getting a renovated fifth third. Now Bohn is scrambling to extend Mick due to the news of his pay cut coming out.
